FOOTBALL TEAM
Major Bowles Opposes Athletic'
Association?Team Officials j
Complimented.
Hearty enthusiasm over the brief
on.I not at all Inglorious first season
of the Richmond Hlnes" football lenin
was evidenced lit n dinner given last
night at the .Masonic Temple to the
team by the Bullfrog Battalion, the
looting and Ret-together crowd Inside
the Blues. The affair resolved itself
into what was generally voted per?
haps the most thoroughly enjoyable
social affair of the command in recent
times.
All the after-dinner speakers had
words of the warmest praise for the
football team and for Captain OHn
Richardson and Mannger Slicppurd
Crump, who. with nothing to stun
with safe resolution, with no scrub
team to play against, and with a Ilm
lted clientele, got together a team
?which acquitted Itself with credit.
Everybody prophesied brilliant things
lor the future.
Major K. W. Bowles presented a
silver-headed cane to Cnptuln Rlch
iardson, and/i. fimstinnsler John A.
Cutchlus, president of the Bullfrog
Association, did the same duty for
Manager Crump.
Opposes Athlrtlc Association.
In an address which was the key?
note of the future for things athletic,
?Major Bowles gave several reasons for
losing the formation of an athletic
relation, which might cause fl'lvl
3, rivalry and an association spirit
? er than a battalion spirit. He ad
ated instead a committee, com
'd of one man from headquarters
i one from each company, to have
Ire charge of all athletic affairs.
Is suggestion will in all probability
adopted.

PARDONED MA
CANNOT GO HOME
Governor Requires Consumptive
to Go Where He Will Not
Spread Infection.
Carrying out his conviction that par?
dons granted to convict i suffering
with cantOgloUS diseases are against
public policy. Governor Mann yester?
day placed a stipulation in the pardon
of .1. t. Cardwell, of Plttsylvnnlu
county, that the man must not live at
his home. He Is required t? locate in
Colorado, there to be treated for tu?
berculosis, or else he must go to an
institution for the Cara of consump?
tives, lie wll> not be allowed to stay
where he can transmit the disease to
his family and to others.
This decision Is regarded as remark?
able Indeed, as it goes directly oppos?
ite to all accepted'us ges on the sub?
ject. It has been used as an argument
for the pardon of n prisoner, suffering
from an Incurable disease that he
should be allowed to go home where
he cared for. and Spend 'he remainder
of his life will) his own people. Hut
Governor Mann has concluded that this
is just Where he should not be allowed
to spend his life.
Pntnl How In Store.
Aside, from this novel feature, the
clemency extended to Cardwell Is of
more than ordinary Interest, lie was
a mcrchnm In I'lltsyIvnnla county, and
In the same neighborhood (here lived
one I? D. Clark, who had an old
grudge with Card well's fnther about
a division fence. In an altercation in
CardweU's store. Clark was fatally
shot. It was stated at the troal that
Cardwell was forced to tire in
self-defense, but the jury rendered
a verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree, with n punish?
ment of fifteen years' imprisonment.
This was in Mnrch of last year?1910.
Judge K. -I Harvey, in a letter to
the Governor, said he thought the jury
found the correct degree, but made the
punishment to* heavy. The Governor
then expressed the opinion that It was
not up to him to retry the case. He
did not act Until a certificate wns re?
ceived from surgeon R. K, Bowles, of
the state 1'rlson Farm, to the effect
llu.it Cardwell is Incurably 111 from tu
bercnlosls, and will hardly last a year.
Then the executive i.ssued the pardon,
conditioned upon Cardwell plneing hini
sslf Where he will not spread (he in?
fection. If he tries to llvo with his
hon e people, he will be returned to
the penitentiary.

Richmond's .seven Inisines? clubs w.is
definitely assigned yesterday to Jan?
uary -. The committees on parade,

date from January 9, the day original?
ly selected. T. M. Carrlngton, chair?
man of the Joint committees, presided

cause ,,f the fact that on the day final?

will be In tho city to spend the holi?
days with their lumllies, and will be
able to witness und take part in the
celebration. One week later many of
these will have scattered to various

of high school children of 500 voices
will be available only on the carllei
date.
ArrnnglUK Surprise*.
Special songs, with Richmond inter?
ests as their themes, arc being pre?
pared, and the rendering of these by
the high school chorus ... counted upon
to furnish one of the big features of
the program at the auSitorium. The
program committee has been holding
secret sessions and has contracted for
a number of surprise features which
will not be announced either on the
program or through the press. Tho
committee Is keeping Its own council
and is working out a program which]
will be as unique as the occasion for i
which It Is being prepared.
A total membership of 3,000 busi
ness men is backing the big home dem. |
onstt'dtloil, which will be the llrst ofi
Its kind ever attempted In the city.;
Stated In smallest compass, it Is for.
the purpose of showing to the cltl-i
icnsltlp of Richmond In palpable and
organized form, the organisations and'
the men that are causing Richmond to(
forge abend as the South's biggest
und most convenient commercial city,
(tilt! lo secure a closer co-operutlon he-|

Richmond Man Release! by Gov?
ernor?'Robinson to Build
Rad ford School.
Evidence tor and against the peti?
tion of the city of Chnrlollosvlllo for
safer station facilities was heard yes?
terday by the sjtato Corporation Com?
mission. nn,i submitted without argu
inent. The lien ring was concluded at
the morning session.
George Perltins, of Perkins Ss Per?
kins, representing the city, placed the
following witnesses Oh Hie "stand: 15.
p. lladcn, Mayor; C. W. Hulllsh, R. W.
Ilolsinger, .lohn S. Pat ton and T. J.
Michie. All of these testified that a
dangerous side track runs close to
the union passenger station, and tlie
public must pass over It in going to
or returning from the station. Only one
accident. It appears, has occurred there,
but the witnesses contended that tills
fact did not show the crossing was not
dungerous. While the main contention
revolves ubout this truck, it is evident
that the Ciiarlottcsvillc people hope to
get a new station or its equivalent as
the llual result.
For the .Southern Railway, which
owns the property. Attorney R. B.
Tunstull produced as a witness II. K.
Ilutchlns, superintendent of the
Northern division. It was explained
by Mr. Ilutchlns that the company has
Hied Its plans with the commission lit
the latter's request, suggesting the
placing of a sort of watchman at the
point complained of, whose duty it
would be to precede* any engine which
might pass over tlie spol with a flag
by day or a lantern' by night, so us
to warn the public of approaching dan?
ger. It seems that orders have been
issued for this duty, 'nut the witnesses
for the city could not recall seeing a
?nan on the Job.
Tlie contention of tlie railroad Is
that It owes no publ'c duty In Char
loltcsvllle which It Is not discharging,
and that to do what the people want
would be an unjust discrimination In
the spending of money where it Is not
ne led. to the negleci of places where
it is needed.

This money was in a worn cloth bag, which he

If reports which reach State High?

regarding the condition of the Rich?

the Lyncliburg nnd Amtierst Turnpike
nre correct, these highways will fur?

fore the Legislature In his fight for
the maintenance of now roads. He
henrs that both these roads, which
arc called upon to .ear a great deal
of traffic, especially from automobiles,
are showing distinct Hlgns of wear
and that holes arc nppenrlug which
are destined to grow bigger and morn
costly each day that repairs are de?

It Is felt that Insufficient provision
Is being mnde In most Instances, und
that if the new roads are allowed to

Pittsylvania Senator to Be Hon?

Chairmanship.
Developments of tho past few ?luvst
seem to Indlcato tho certainty of tlie
election of Senator .lohn F. Rlson. of
Pittsylvania, to he chairman of tho
Democratic caucus of tho .State Senate
In the Legislature which meets next
month. There line hcen considerable
discussion on this point, but It scem't
now to be sottled by common consent,
avoiding a light on tho floor of the
caucus.
It also appears equally certain that
Senator Saxon W. Holt, of Newport
News, will f,o uhalrraan ol the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Election*,
succeeding Senator \V. W. Salo. now
Adjutunt-Ooneral. Sonator Holt is near
the top on this committee, and, while,
strict priority doos not rule, the sann:
general agreement is aaid to exist as
Is the case with the chairmanship Of
the. caucus.
In 'aklng this place, Senator Holt
will lot himself In for nn enormous
amount of work. The redlstrleting of
